Margaret Atwood, the Booker Prize-winning author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Blind Assassin, follows up her award-winning narrative, Oryx and Crake, with the highly anticipated book The Year of the Flood. Her latest novel focuses on a group called God's Gardeners, a small community of survivors of the same environmental catastrophe depicted in Oryx and Crake. In her 30 years as a writer, Atwood has authored more than 25 volumes of poetry, fiction and nonfiction. She is also the recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees.
Do you really need convincing to go see Margaret Atwood? She's one of the most interesting writers of the last 30 years and she has made it nearly impossible to categorize her. She's a fine reader, and The Year of the Flood, which runs concurrent to Oryx and Crake, sounds like a winner.
